SoundPlay Works™ is an educational wellness organization that uses therapeutic sound, mindful movement, breathwork, and expressive arts to support nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, and sensory integration. We offer school programs, corporate wellness sessions, facilitator training, and immersive sound experiences grounded in neuroscience, trauma-informed practices, and ancient healing traditions.
Sound Medicine is the intentional use of frequencies, tones, and rhythm to promote wellness, relaxation, and balance in the body and mind. Using instruments like crystal singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and the human voice, sound medicine engages the brain, breath, and nervous system to restore harmony to the mind, body, and emotions.
Sound stimulates the brain’s electrical patterns (brainwaves), often guiding them into states associated with relaxation, focus, or meditation (e.g., alpha, theta, and delta). It also activates the vagus nerve and parasympathetic nervous system, helping reduce stress, lower cortisol levels, and support emotional regulation. When experienced mindfully, sound can act as a direct pathway to stillness, presence, and emotional regulation.
Everyone! Our programming is designed for people of all ages and abilities. In schools, we support students with diverse learning needs, including neurodivergent learners, through multi-sensory, play-based sound experiences. In workplaces, our sessions help participants regulate stress, boost creativity, and reconnect to their inner rhythm. We also offer professional development and training for educators, wellness professionals, and sound practitioners.
Resonant Learning is an approach that creates deep, lasting impact by engaging learners and participants on emotional, experiential, and intellectual levels. Rather than memorizing information, participants connect personally through sound, movement, and reflection, transforming knowledge into embodied understanding. By evoking genuine emotion and self-awareness, Resonant Learning nurtures creativity, empathy, and lifelong growth, allowing insights to continue “vibrating” within long after the experience ends.
Depending on the setting, a session might include breathwork, humming, guided movement, a live sound bath, vocal exploration, storytelling, or instrument play. In schools, we offer seated group experiences and hands-on workshops. In corporate settings, we facilitate wellness classes, restorative sound yoga, and cacao-infused sound ceremonies. Every session is tailored to the participants and delivered with trauma-informed care.
We use a wide array of instruments, including:
– Crystal and Himalayan singing bowls
– Ocean drums, buffalo drums, and thunder drums
– Chimes, rainsticks, tuning forks
– Gongs, monochords, shruti boxes
– Human voice (toning, humming, chant)
Each tool is chosen for its ability to produce frequencies that interact harmonically with the body’s systems.
Your Heart-Soul Note is your unique vibrational tone, a vocal signature. By exploring your voice through humming, toning, or chanting, you can reconnect to your authentic resonance. SoundPlay sessions guide you to sense, feel, and sound your heart-soul note, fostering self-expression, confidence, and intuition.
Both. Our approach is grounded in neuroscience, psychology, sound physics, and somatic practices and is also inspired by Indigenous and sacred sound traditions. We honour both the science and spirit of sound, offering an inclusive and respectful space for learning, awareness, and experiential understanding.
